Good victory tonight lads. Was well off the pace myself but I can see from that one game you have the "honesty of effort" that Mr Giles goes on about so much.
The opposition were technically much better but their heart wasn't in it and we took advantage of that. Cheers guys and looking forward to playing with you all in the next season 0 -

Yep, that was a very good win lads. Sometimes its nice to win when you know its sheer grit and determination that won it for you, as opposed to simply being the better team. They were good footballers in all areas of the park but we wanted the win more and it showed. We moaned at ref, they moaned about our moaning. We generally cut it out, then they just kept on at the ref for the rest of the game while we just focused on shutting them out. Always better to win and then say ‘the ref didn’t help’ then use it as an excuse when you lose. And he is a poor ref no doubt – as demonstrated by the handball he let go in the game after ours. But moaning at him simply makes things worse so we need to just ignore him next week.
We took the goal well in a textbook counter attack, and Joe did very well to keep it in and get it across to me, but we didn’t create many more chances, though somehow we should’ve still been 2 up at half-time. 2nd half we actually had very little of the ball and in truth made very little threat, but it felt good mucking in and getting stuck in and the more frustrated they seemed to get the better it felt. Their number 10 saying ‘that’s it I’ve had enough of this’ and walking off the pitch after I’d cleanly taken the ball off him and clipped his knee with the follow through was hilarious and at that point I knew for sure it was our night.
Fair play to the defence for the shut-out and midfield for providing good cover, and would’ve been nice to see Shay’s net buster sneak into the top corner as a reward.
If they’re 2nd in the league it really shows that there’s only possibly one team in the league that is better than us, but we need to keep up that level of fight to keep the wins coming in.
Fair play to the new lads, and Art was quality in goal. If he's a better striker than he is a keeper he'll be a great addition...though what will we do now we have the 2 best keepers in the league???0 -

I got stung right up my arms
Between that and the fair tackle LeixlipRed talks about above,i don't think they like me very much
The funniest bit was straight after that tackle,your mans team mate runs over and shouts:
Him - "he has work in the morning"
Me - "thats well for him"0 -
